The Rose Garden in the Fall...it's Looking Magnificent!




Before we say sayonara to summer colors, have you been by recently to take a peek at the rose garden? It is looking magnificent. You would think that we were in the throes of summer. I’ll leave you with a few pictures that I took on Sunday, September 12 th during our Photo Walk in the Gardens. But you know it’s even better in person!

It's hard to believe that roses are still happy in mid-September!



And even better close up!


Hurry! Hurry! Hurry! Come and take a look before they are gone! It’s a great time to soak up those last warm summer days…while we still have them. I love the fall season: bright sunny days and crisp cool nights, fresh and new fall plantings (more about that in another post to come), and a cornucopia of those great autumn colors.
    
 
Fall sunshine is great for backlighting these Horse Chestnut leaves.
